This is a large delightful antique oil on canvas painting after Watteau, depicting a "Party Picnicking", Circa 1780 in date.
The painting depicts a group of people relaxing in the countryside listening to a musician playing a lute, and the artist shows his skill in composition and as a colourist, with its warm harmonies of pink, red and russet brown.
This magnificent painting is housed in its original gilded frame, it is beautifully executed and as such would make a lovely addition to your collection.

In really excellent condition the painting and frame having been beautifully cleaned, please see photos for confirmation.
